Davis and Geck Inc. Poison Bottle - 5/20/2011 6:29:05 PM    albinoshroomish   Posts: 3 Joined: 5/20/2011 Status: offline I need an honest answer and info on my Poison bottle. Its a Davis and Geck Inc. Poison bottle. I'm not sure the year although I would like to know. I would also like to know how much it is worth, I am not a bottle collector and its been sitting in a box for quite sometime and would rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it more than I will. I would like to know more about the company who produced this bottle. So if anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated! :) Attachment (1) Post #: 1

This is the later modle with the screw top. But does not change the price. In fact with the cap present and full labels, you have quite the prize there. I wish I could offer you even a fraction of what it's value is, but that's not possible in our currest situation. But I will let you know what I know. Current value is around $800, maybe a bit more with the label. Historical high for this botte (before the economy took a dump) is about $1000-$1400. There is a cork top as well. As you can see from the embossing from the base, they are out of Brooklyn, NY. This bottle is from the '30s I believe. The cork can be dated back no earlier that 1909. You can read the "trusted" source of the wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_%26_Geck Your's is the first I have seen witha label....not saying it's the only one, just the first I have seen. I've only been collecting for 4 years so there is still a lot I have to see and learn myself. If Jerry sees this, he may be able to weigh in a bit more on the history or value and such. I really wish I could offer you something for it, but it's not possible. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
